The Vision

About Epping Forest

Epping Forest forms a direct green link between London and rural Essex and lends its name to a market town and surrounding district that never fails to surprise and delight visitors who discover its many attractions. The district comprises towns and villages set in attractive countryside on the edge of the metropolitan area, sharing its boundaries with Greater London and Hertfordshire. This positioning puts the Council in a strong business location which boasts excellent communication and transport links.
